The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Texas on Monday announced the names of nine accused of participating in the drug trafficking that stretched from Cameron County to Houston and Louisiana. The FBI and DEA spent two years investigating the case, with help from Homeland Security Investigations, Border Patrol and local law enforcement.

Last week, federal agents raided a home in Laureles connected to the case.
